Core Tip: Tassal Group’s salmon processing plant has become Australia’s first processing plant to attain Global Aquaculture Alliance’s (GAA) Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) certification.
Tassal Group’s salmon processing plant has become Australia’s first processing plant to attain Global Aquaculture Alliance’s (GAA) Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) certification and the country’s first company approved to offer two-star salmon.

The facility processes about 24,00 metric tons of Atlantic salmon annually. It feeds processed product into other processing plants for smoking and value adding, representing about 40 percent of the company’s total production.

Tassal was Australia’s first company to earn BAP certification in December 2012, with the certification of its first two salmon farm sites. Since then, 13 of the company’s farm sites have received BAP certification, bringing the total to 15 farm sites across six regions in Tasmania.

“Taking the next step in certifying our processing plant demonstrates Tassal’s commitment to certification and accountability throughout our value chain, ensuring we can deliver the best possible product to the Australian consumer,” said Linda Sams, head of sustainability.
